PlayerScore / GearScore

PlayerScore Overview
PlayerScore is the next evolution of GearScore and aims at providing a utility infinitely more useful then just the score of a player's equipment. PlayerScore provides raid leaders with a wealth of instant knowledge such as

Complete Raiding History - Allows you to view an easy to read breakdown of a player's raiding history including every boss kill and current top-tier raiding progression.

Equipment Layout - Well designed layout allows you to manually check a player's gear quickly and easily. Advanced item tooltips make spotting bad items even easier with flags for enchantments, gems, and reforging.

Primary Stats - Shows you a break down of the stats a player is gearing for. This provides a great way for raid leaders to make sure player's aren't stacking spell pen, or have 200% hit rating, or DKs gearing for Agility.

Talent Spec - View a player's current build. You can also flag talents as bad for a specific spec and have PlayerScore notify you in the future when a player is using those talents.

Automatic Character Auditing - PlayerScore will display a list of flags for when players have missing or bad gems & enchantments; bad talent specs; missing equipment; wearing equipment for another spec or class; using pvp items; or riding TRH.

Player Ratings - PlayerScore uses our online servers and custom anti-abuse technology to allow players to rate eachother on a thumbs up or down basis. This allows you to easily spot players who don't get along well with others or just plain suck.

PlayerScore also provides a set of very extensive options. Almost every single feature can be disabled to save memory or increase performance. You can also disable features to save space and only provide the information you care about most. You can also run the addon in "Lite Mode" which will disable the entire GUI showing only information on player tooltips.

* Quick Rate Mode! In previous versions of the addon, it would become difficult to rate players at the end of a dungeon because they would quickly leave the party.

The new Quick Rate Mode attempts to remedy this by displaying a small window whenever the user exits a 5-man dungeon. There is now an option in the options menu that can disable this feature. You can also type "/psrate" at any time to open the window and rate party members. Due to previous limits within addon, only players who have been scanned by the addon at some point since the last login will appear in the quick rate frame. Finally, all players who join your party at some point during the instance will be listed in the Quick Rate Frame. This means players who join and are then vote-kicked or abandon the instance will appear for you to rate.

The Quick Rate Mode will display each Player's Name (Colored by Class), their GearScore, and Thumbs Up/Down for rating. In addition an Icon will be displayed for viewing the negative and positive factors in a player's score.

gearratingfu was similer to this and i really miss that addon. if you didnt know, it would get the players average ilevel, and also had an option to scan your entire party/raid, and kept that info in a drop down from fubar. i use databroker now. so it would be nice to see databroker support and scan party/raid options

Originally posted by Delena Good job, I like it
Does it work only with the default tooltip ?

Yeah, this is the beta (Just finish making it work lol), and I plan to add alot of functionality to it. What do you have in mind?

Also, I'm not sure if it will scan the whole raid. I'll make a command and try. The problem with this is your whole raid would have to be in Inspect range. (Which isn't a problem if your already in the instance). But I'll look into this too.

Thats basically what gearratingfu did. if someone was out of range it would say that. then you could attempt a rescan. i believe it was just a basic ilevel average, so a warrior in epic cloth would still show a high rating. and it also paid no attention to enchants or gems. ill go ahead and send you the old files, but it has been removed from curse some time ago. i think it still "works" but the numbers are way off when examining wotlk gear.

Well the problem I have is CPU Time. Scanning the average Ilevels of the whole raid is quick and easy. However scanning all the gems, and enchants they have and compiling all their stat bonuses is a bit more combersome.

Do you want it to be like a /gearscore Raid --- that would output data into your chat window (Could be alot for 25 people) or something like /gearscore raid 3000 --which would let you know of anyone below a score of 3k.

Also in response to Delena,
The information is added to the default tooltip. I havn't personally ever used any mods that change the default tooltip in any drastic enough ways that I belive would interfere with my mod. For example, when using healbot I can mouse over a player on the healbars, and if they are in range the info is still added to teh default tooltip (which will appear) but not the Healbot Tooltip (Which shows which heals do what and how much). Let me know.

I tryied it with RantTooltip, it works fine with it. So I think it's compatible with many tooltip addons.

Thats because TipTac constantly spam-updates the tooltip. But this is okay because it doesnt use much CPU time, my mod however will use alot of CPU time if I spam/scan you. But I should be able to change my addon to not scan, but retain the information and keep adding it to the tooltip when TipTac updates. I'll let you know!

Thanks.

Thanks for the update, but it's still not quite fixed. It doesn't disappear and show, but now it just shows the GearScore then gets bumped under the health bar (making it unreadable) then gets bumped up again to make it readable, etc.

Okay, I'm looking into this now and see what you mean. I belive this problem is caused because the "Health" bar on TipTac's Tooltip isn't really an element of the Tooltip but an <XML> element. TipTac seems to have it set to assume the height of the tooltip and simply place the health bar at the bottom. (Notice how the tooltip height grows up and not down?) Anyways the next version I have brewing doesnt' have this problem as severe, and I'll talk to TipTac's creator and see if we can get some mutual support.

I also noticed that TipTac adds Talent information to the tooltip, I will add a code that check's to see if tiptac is running and not post my own talent info.

I have this addon and I love the feature so far, but there is a problem when used along with Examiner.

When examiner is open and you hover over an item belonging to the examined, the tooltip won't show the item tooltip, instead it quickly flashes past that tooltip and then changes to the gearscore tooltip.
